| - For a Chinese take-out place, Chang Jiang is awesome. I prefaced with "Chinese take-out" because that is very different from authentic Chinese restaurant. So, put your expectations in place before ordering is my suggestion!
They give huge portions. I swear my take-out bag is always many many pounds heavy. I've had the House Mei Fun twice now. Its flavor is pretty yummy. It's not overwhelmingly oily like most take-out places. I've also had the Eggplant with Eggplant Sauce (Yo, I heard you like eggplant amirite?). I'm guessing the eggplant sauce means the sauce in which eggplant is cooked, which is like a garlic sauce. Otherwise, I'll be impressed if the sauce were made from eggplants. The eggplants themselves lacked a bit of flavor, but I enjoyed it anyway. I highly recommend the Kung Pao Chicken. The chicken is breaded and it actually tastes like chicken, unlike chicken from other take-out places.
Side story... I ordered on Eat Street last week, and it was my first time ordering at Chang Jiang. I totally skipped over the tip portion and felt awful about it. So, fortunately the food was good, because before we picked up the food, we had already decided to go a second time the next day to tip extra since we forgot!
